  * Open **Nios II (Quartus Prime)** and provide the workspace location.

   * Create a new Application Project: go to **File -> New -> Nios II Application and BSP from Template**
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:new_app.png?650 |Creating a new application project}}

   * Add a new Hardware Platform: click **...** from the **Target Hardware information** section.
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:config_hw_platform.png?450 |Creating a new hardware platform}}

   *  Specify the already generated Hardware Platform Specification File (more details about the generation: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/docs/build): in the **SOPC Information File name** section and browse the desired file.   
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:config_hw_platform_2.png?450 |Config HW 2}}   

   * Give a name to the project and select the **Blank Project** template and click **Finish**
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:config_new_proj.png?450 |Config new project}}

   * The new **Blank project** should look like:
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:blank_proj.png?650 |Blank project}}

   * Create a new folder called **src** under **sw** folder
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:new_folder.png?650 |New folder}}

   * Copy all the source code files into the **src** directory.

   * The SDK should automatically build the projects and the Console window will display the result of the build. If the build is not done automatically select the **Project -> Build Automatically** menu option.
    
   * At this point the software project setup is complete, the FPGA can be programmed and the software can be downloaded into the system. 
   
   * You can program the FPGA by opening **Programmer (Quartus Prime)** provided by the Quartus Prime Software Suite. Click the **Auto Detect** button. The detected devices should be displayed now in the device list.
   
   {{ :resources:fpga:altera:programmer.png?650 |Programmer}}
   * Double-click the first device under the **File** column and browser for the **.sof** file required for the project. Make sure the **Program/Configure** column is checked. Press the **Start** button to program the FPGA.
   
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:add_sof.png?650 |Empty application project}}

   * After the FPGA was programmed, we need to create a new Run configuration in the Nios II project, by selecting **Run** -> **Run Configurations...**, in the Run Configuration windows select the **Nios II Hardware** and click at the **New Configuration** button at the upper left corner.
{{ :resources:fpga:altera:run_config.png?650 |Create new run configuration}} 

   * At the **Project** tab define your current project name and application executable. (.elf)

   * On the Target Connection tab, press the **Refresh Connections** button. You may need to expand the window or scroll to the right to see this button.

  * Check the **Ignore mismatched system ID** option.

  * Check the **Ignore mismatched system timestamp** option.

   * The output of the example program can be viewed in the Console Window.

   * When the run configuration is done, the software can be started by clicking the **Run** button.

   * Your new bare metal application should run
